About Us

Founded in June 2006, The Business Post is Newfoundland and Labrador's oldest, and only business newspaper. With a focus on oil & gas, mining, small business and politics, The Business Post is known for its insightful reporting and independent commentary.

Distributed as a monthly, free circulation newspaper, you can find The Business Post at coffee shops, hotels, major office buildings, supermarkets, restaurants and St. John's International Airport. Our newspaper is also distributed at major business conferences and events, both locally and nationally.

The Business Post is edited by veteran business and political journalist Craig Westcott, who has won awards for mining, business and news coverage as well as for political commentary. Westcott has covered business and politics in Newfoundland since 1987 for The Telegram, CBC Radio and the former Robinson Blackmore newspaper chain. He has been cited and interviewed by numerous media sources, including Canadian Business Magazine, La Presse, MacLean's Magazine, L'actualite, CBC Newsworld, TVO, Norwegian Public Radio, Radio Canada, Global Television and the National Post for his views on Newfoundland and Labrador's economy and politics.
